As I grazed in the field, I realized that there were not any other animals around. I had a weird feeling that something was wrong. The other animals that are usually making noises are all silent. The rustling from my hooves are the only sound. I see a shadow up in a tree. I feel afraid and uneasy. I think that is is unsafe here, so I am going to run away.

From what/whose perspective is the passage written?

• A hunter

• An animal looking for friends

• An animal being hunted

Dear Channel 11 News,My name is Aisha Tyler, and I am a fifth grader at Marks Elementary. My teacher, Mrs. McPherson, requires us to watch one news program a week. After watching the news, we have to write a paper about current events. When I sat down to watch your news program, I could not believe my eyes. Your news reporters never talked about anyone but movie stars and pop singers. I did not learn a single thing about current events, and now I do not know what to write about in my paper. I think it is wrong for you to pretend that Hollywood is the only important place in the world. From now on, I will look for a news program that shows real news.Sincerely,Aisha TylerBased on this letter, which sentence best describes Aisha's point of view?

• The news should cover the lives of movie stars and singers.

• The news should never mention a single thing about America.

• The news does not teach students enough about entertainment.

• The news should cover stories from many places around the world.

For Rosa Parks

by J. Robbins

They said, "Stand," but Rosa sat;

She knew it wasn't right

to treat her as if she was wrong

because she wasn't white.

She knew that freedom is a fight

that only brave souls win;

She also knew our value lies

in what's beneath our skin.

Rosa fought for what is right;

Her courage paved the way

for kids like you and me to ride

the freedom train today.

Select all the correct answers.

From the way the speaker describes the events in the poem, the reader can tell that the speaker...

• thinks appearances are important.

• is afraid of getting into a major fight.

• admires Rosa Parks.

• likes to ride on trains.

• believes that people deserve fairness.

Dear Student Council, I am writing a letter to bring up an issue that is very important to me. Our school does not offer any healthy lunches for students. All we have to eat are greasy hamburgers, french fries, or pizzas. It would be nice to have a fresh salad every now and then. The students at this school would be healthier and feel better if they ate fruits and vegetables at lunch. I would like you to consider providing more healthy choices for students. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. Sincerely, Jane Whitefeather Which sentence best expresses the author's point of view in this letter?

• Only rich students can afford to eat healthy food.

• It's important for students to eat healthy lunches.

• It is a lot of trouble to bring fruits and salads for lunch.

• The only healthy food at lunch is a fresh salad.

Debra was walking a big black Labrador along the beach. The dog was unleashed, but he didn't seem to stray far from her. As Debra walked in the sand, the Labrador bounded through the waves. As the dog fell a few feet behind Debra, she called out to him, "Come on, Duke! Come here boy!" Duke barked, ran from the water, and caught Debra quickly. Duke was sopping wet. He started licking Debra and almost knocked her down. Debra laughed and tried to wipe the paw prints off her outfit.

Brandon pressed his nose against the glass case. There it was, Death Fighter 6, the latest video game. Brandon had never wanted anything more. Well, he really wanted Death Fighter 5 too, but this was different. The clerk walked over to him and said, "Is there anything that I can get for you, sir?" Brandon asked, "How much is Death Fighter 6?" The employee said, "$59.99 plus tax, like it says there on the rack, sir." Brandon sighed. This news saddened him. He only had $1.87.
